Video: Bowdoin Students Protest Dakota Access Pipeline

October 13, 2016 by Tom Porter

As the fight over the Dakota Access pipeline intensifies, several dozen students and other members of the Bowdoin community gathered on campus recently to voice their opposition to the project. The Native American Student Association and Bowdoin Climate Action organized the rally on October 5, 2016. Banners were displayed and a petition was signed in support of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s efforts to block the construction of a pipeline through sites the tribe describes as sacred.
